Jonn W. Dean III testified he was sure the President knew of the Watergate cover-up as early as last fall and helped keep the scandal quiet. He read a 65,000 word statement to the Senate Watergate Committee detailing his knowledge and participation and confirmed Nixon’s involvement after Sept. 15. Dean testified he confronted the President about the cover-up, acknowledged his own perjury and payoffs, and said Nixon discussed payments, leadership of the cover-up, and immunity concerns. He stated the President sought to protect Haldeman and Ehrlichman and urged Dean to resign his position during the investigative process.
